13 OK, I'm dense. my problem is that 1.4-r3 was
14 'KEYWORDS=sparc', but not the only
15 thing marked
16 KEYWORDS=sparc is 'mozilla-1.3-r2'
17 There is nothing in the ChangeLog explaining why for sparc I
18 should either downgrade (1.4 --> 1.3) or go to '~sparc'
19
20 If you are saying that 1.4.1 is stable for sparc, than I for one
21 would ask that you mark it so. If it is not, then I would ask you to
22 leave 1.4-r3 present (except for my gripe about displaying garbage,
23 1.4-r3 works perfectly fine, but I have no reason to believe 1.4.1
24 would, since it's marked stable only for x86.)
25
26 This is NOT what I want:
27 ==============
28 antaresia mozilla # emerge -p mozilla
29
30 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
31
32 Calculating dependencies ...done!
33 [ebuild UD] net-www/mozilla-1.3-r2 [1.4-r3]
34 ===============
35
36 But this is default behavior, and there is no ChangeLog indication
37 of why it should be.
38
39 What am I missing here?
